mapkit

So I have an MKMapView and I have a pin on it with a disclosure button. I want the user to be able to tap the disclosure button and the navigation controller to push a new view controller. But I want that new view controller to look like the contacts viewController that comes standard in the contacts app. I need it to display custom contact information because the contact will not be in the users contacts. I have been playing around with ABPerson, but I can't figure it out. I want that contact page to look exactly like the standard page. This is what I've been playing with:

I've a question about doing a local search in Apple maps which I have already implemented into my app. The app should show the user where are "supermarkets" around him. My mapView also shows the user's current location but I don't really know how I should do this with the results of the market-locations. Maybe Apple provides a solution/advice for this. Thanks in advance. The results (supermarkets) should be displayed as in this picture. UPDATE: The function works perfectly but is it also possible to make these pins clickable to show an info-sheet about this location as in the pictures below?

I have a map and on this map I have 10 custom annotation pins. All pins have same custom image. When i click on a pin, i need to change all other 9 annotation's images. its possible to change clicked pin's image but i need to keep as it is and i need to change all other pins images. I tried to get all annotations with Map mapView.annotations and tried to find selected annotation and change others images but couldnt manage it. And idea how to do it? Thanks in advice Conform to MKMapViewDelegate protocol and then: func mapView(mapView: MKMapView!, didSelectAnnotationView view: MKAnnotationView!)

the iPhone SDK provides with MapKit a simple solution for maps und reverse geocoding without any additional costs. Does anyone know if there is a similar Framework for Cocoa on OSX? I know that google maps is capable of that but as far as I know and understand I have to pay while using google maps in a commercial application? Thanks for your answers twickl You won't have to pay as long as you don't use the quota. The api documentation is here : http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/ If you plan to use it reasonably, this will remain free (no api key is required anymore by

I have an current location annotation (blue dot) showing in mapkit. Annotation shows after taping the blue dot, how can I have the annotation showing by default?, when I start the view? whit out tapping the pin. - (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mv didAddAnnotationViews:(NSArray *)views { for(MKAnnotationView *annotationView in views) { if(annotationView.annotation == mv.userLocation) { self.mapView.userLocation.title= @"Current"; self.mapView.userLocation.subtitle= @"Location"; MKCoordinateRegion region; MKCoordinateSpan span; span.latitudeDelta=0.002; span.longitudeDelta=0.002;
